Or watermelon for two. I lured a few insects onto my terrace by offering them a slightly advanced slice of watermelon.
Here's a pair of Vespula Germanica wasps that accepted the invitation. They are so busy feasting that a little freehand stacking was possible.
Shot with the Canon R6 MKII and EF 100mm f/2.8 L macro, internal focus-bracketing. 1/500 at f/8, ISO 3200. Natural light with supplementary LEDs.
Around 6 really usable shots, stacked in Helicon Focus, method B. Final processing in ON1 Photoraw.
The number of images that could be used for the stack was insufficient to get the two insects fully in focus, but I'm nevertheless rather pleased with the result. What do you think?
